This is a super easy dinner! Most of the ingredients you can find right in your pantry! My husband made this for me for the first time over 5 years ago! This is a great meal to make in a hurry. Nothing too crazy that gets your heart-rate going and makes you start sweating. I think the most expensive item on the menu is the bacon!

You Will Need (10 things)

  • 1 lbs Potatoes cut into approximately 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt (to taste)
  • ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 3 Strips Bacon
  • 1 small Onion chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 lbs kielbasa sliced thin
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ Green Cabbage sliced into 4 inch ribbons (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tbsp Water

Steps (7 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Ingredients you will need! The best way to start is by prepping all of your ingredients first.

  2. 2

    Start by peeling, cutting and rinsing your potatoes. Put them into a microwave safe bowl. Add to the potatoes ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, stir or toss to coat. Microwave the potatoes for 4 minutes, stir and microwave an additional 2-4 minutes until tender when pierced by a fork. They may need longer depending on the size of your potato chunks.

  3. 3

    Cut your bacon into small lengths. In a large skillet over Medium heat, pan fry your bacon until crisp, but not burnt. Remove bacon to paper towels. Remove oil from pan, reserving 1-2 Tablespoons of the drippings.

  4. 4

    Add onion to 1 Tablespoon bacon drippings (or olive oil) and saute until just starting to brown. Then add Kielbasa and minced garlic. Cook until kielbasa lightly browns (about 3 minutes).

  5. 5

    When potatoes are tender, add them to the skillet. Tossing to coat, adding a drizzle of bacon drippings (or olive oil) if necessary. Cook 2-3 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until the potatoes are lightly browned.

  6. 6

    Add cabbage, season with remaining salt and pepper (or to taste). Toss to coat. Add 2 Tablespoons water, reduce heat to Medium-Low, cover, and cook for approximately 2-4 minutes. Cook until cabbage is bright green and wilted as preferred. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed.

  7. 7

    Serve and enjoy! The leftovers are super tasty next day as well.
